• AIR FORCE JUNIOR ROTC

    Air Force JROTC is a citizenship program with the mission of Developing Citizens of Character. This course is open to all high school students in grades 9-12 and is designed for cadets to learn the program in their first year, assist in teaching the program to new cadets in their second year, and manage and lead the program in their third and fourth years.

    Course curriculum is designed to better prepare cadets for a successful life after high school and focus heavily on team building and decision-making, allowing the cadets to gain confidence and experience as a leader and grow as a student and person. The curriculum is divided into two main areas:

    Aerospace Science (AS)

    This portion of the curriculum explores aviation history, the science of flight, space exploration, cyber topics, survival skills, and corps management. Cadets learn about the evolution of flight, aerospace environments, weather, navigation, and human factors in aviation. Cultural awareness is also emphasized, helping them understand global regions, world affairs, and the relationships between people, environments, and cultures.

    Leadership Education (LE)

    Leadership Education focuses on character development, citizenship, and personal growth. Cadets learn about Air Force structure, uniform wear, customs and courtesies, flag etiquette, first aid, health and wellness, and basic drill. The curriculum also includes critical thinking, communication, leadership preparation, teamwork, career planning, financial literacy, resume writing, job interviewing, college applications, and life skills such as decision-making and human relations.

    Cadets are required to wear the AFJROTC uniform, meet grooming and behavior standards, and participate in physical fitness activities. After two years, cadets may earn their required PE credit. Extracurricular opportunities include Drill/Color Guard, Saber Team, Marksmanship, Drones, Robotics, Academic Team (JLAB), Physical Fitness Teams, and Mentoring. Cadets also engage in community service and attend field trips to museums and military installations.

    Note: AFJROTC is not a military recruiting program and does not require minimum physical fitness standards.
